happy chappie

Meanwhile in London the pm2.5 was reading 8ppm yesterday but with the help of a bit more taxing the nuts out of Londoners they will be able to get it down another point.

The police are well on to him then...a man on a motorcycle.ill give them a few clues.hes got black hair,brown eyes and is wearing lots of gold chains.

10 thefts over a year ain't bad.say 10 x500b and he's been compensated on some of them.bb caps are next to nothing.ive had two thais crash into my parked pcx (solly I have no money,only cost me 9,200b) Isuzu rear light unit maybe 2,000b and done a runner.

i say hang them high so thais can learn a lesson too.

Best I've seen is a couple of dove looking birds.i think the stray cats keep the bird population down.anything with four legs unless it's a dog is living on borrowed time.

We are over run with wildlife up here in issan.dingo and rats everywhere.in all my years here I've never seen more than a few lucky birds.

Easy peasy go to Vietnam,Lao.

Why have to leave the country.get 30 day on arrival and then 30day extention from immo.

if the tourist have to go another country they probably won't come back until they have to fly home From Bkk.

And heres the latest from yesterday at immo.the insurance required is only valid if you get it through one of the government recommended companies...don't just go out and get your own.also my friend phoned a company and asked them if this was good for his visa and he said yes but mt friend looked through the list and that company wasn't on the list.if he had taken it on the sales mans word he would of been throwing the money down the drain and conned.ahyway he went into immo in udon and she demanded his health cover but my wife said it don't start yet and after the immo losing face she had to issue his extention.she even knocked him back on the 12 months proof of income and said it's only 2 months so my wife looked and pointed the 12 months of payments.again losing face.

And tomorrow's new is.....immigration says we have spoken to all involved and it was agreed it was a misunderstanding.

This country is one big joke.

My friend went into udon immo yesterday.hes a retired US major.asked him for bank proof of pension which he easily covered but they said he must get a letter from his US bank to say where the money comes from.then said where's his medical health insurance as he's on a non AO.he pulled out his Medicare and his army health insurance and got the knock back on both of them too.

so the latest I can report is you need health insurance today.

I would of thought an elite visa is about as strong as any other visa.

the only difference is when they throw you out of the country they laugh at you for paying a silly amount of cash for nothing more than a Thai promise and we know about that one

Big joke said there was no overstayers before, so this post is not true.

I'm sure it's  him that works at our local post office now????????????????????????????

Surely you must have the £27-28,000 for the elite visa.????

Hey why not go the whole way and have farang gasoline pumps at 50b a litre,farang bank accounts with zero interest rates,or even FAT (farang added tax) at all checkouts and payment centres.

very good timing too with the baht going through the roof.

Not easy since the 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year at land borders went into effect in January of 2017.

They would need a multiple entry tourist visa to do it now. The embassy in Vientiane will issue one for those living in Laos due to that rule going into effect.

 

Not correct since January of 2017.

Sorry about the wrong info.ive never had a problem but I'm on a marriage visa multi entry.i didn't think about only 2 land crossings a year.so it's still possible but through obtaining a multi entry visa?

i have never had a problem with immo and I now go savannaket for 12 month multi entry based on marriage.i have to leave the country every 90 days and I'm an hour from the Vientiane boarder so make a day trip for duty free,the best bread in Asia and a couple of hours in the casino.

How does that work with visa's from Laos to Thailand weekly for Farangs if they wanted to live in Laos and shop etc in Udon Thani? Is it a big hassle?

Very easy to come in through Vientiane the only problem is going back in to Lao as they stick a huge page stamp in your passport and charge $20 to enter the country.im in the uk at the moment and I'm getting a new passport with extended amount of pages in it.i suppose it's different if your just a day tripper going in and out every couple of week rather than someone coming in and out for 60-90 days at a time and look like your trying to live in Thailand.
